To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This latter por- trait has been engraved, and accom- panies the sketch of Mr. Wilde whioii appears in Griswold's "Prose Writers of America." To that sketch we acknowledge our present indebt- edness. The only surviving son of the poet resides in New Orleans and inherits the literary correspondence and un- published MSS of his father. He it was who, in 1867, through Messrs. Ticknor and Fields of Boston, gave to the lovers of poetry, in at- tractive form, Hesperia, which his father seems to have l...eft in condi- tion ready for the printer. Of these cantos, perpetuating recollections of incidents and travel in Florida, Vir- ginia, Acadia and Louisiana, we may not now speak. Enviable as is Mr. Wilde's reputa- tion as a lawyer, an advocate, a statesman, a poet, and a man of let- ters, be is best known as the author of that poem commencing "My life is like the summer rose." Thus is he always remembered, and in those pathetic lines will he live while the English language en- dures. From Lord Byron did they elicit the warmest praise.
